Monitoring system (12) for a mobile component (3), for example a rotating component, supported by a stationary component (2). The monitoring system (12) comprises: an acoustic sensor (10) which is positioned in the mobile component (3); a first amplifier (18) which is positioned in the mobile component (3); a contactless communication unit (14) provided with a first transceiver device (15) positioned in the mobile component (3) and of a second transceiver device (16) which faces the first transceiver device (15) and is positioned in the stationary component (2); a first connection line (19) connecting the sensor (10) to the first amplifier (18), an analog-to-digital converter (37) which is positioned in the movable component (3) or in the stationary component (2) and is configured to receive an analog signal and convert the analog signal into a digital signal, and a processing device (38) that is positioned in the movable component (3) or in the stationary component (2) and is configured to receive the digital signal from the analog-to-digital converter (37), process the digital signal, and obtain and output a processed digital signal.
